Package org.orekit.models.earth

Class GeoMagneticModelLoader

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.models.earth.GeoMagneticModelLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataLoader

public class GeoMagneticModelLoader
extends Object
implements DataLoader

Loads geomagnetic field models from a given input stream. A stream may contain multiple models, the loader reads all available models in consecutive order.

The format of the expected model file is either:

• combined format as used by the geomag software, available from the IGRF model site; supports multiple epochs per file
• original format as used by the WMM model site.

Combined Format

     {model name} {epoch} {nMax} {nMaxSec} {nMax3} {validity start} {validity end} {minAlt} {maxAlt} {model name} {line number}
 {n} {m} {gnm} {hnm} {dgnm} {dhnm} {model name} {line number}
 

Example:

    WMM2010  2010.00 12 12  0 2010.00 2015.00   -1.0  600.0          WMM2010   0
 1  0  -29496.6       0.0      11.6       0.0                        WMM2010   1
 1  1   -1586.3    4944.4      16.5     -25.9                        WMM2010   2
 

Original WMM Format

    {epoch} {model name} {validity start}
 {n} {m} {gnm} {hnm} {dgnm} {dhnm}
 

Example:

    2015.0            WMM-2015        12/15/2014
  1  0  -29438.5       0.0       10.7        0.0
  1  1   -1501.1    4796.2       17.9      -26.8

GeoMagneticModelLoader

public GeoMagneticModelLoader()

Method Detail

getModels

public Collection<GeoMagneticField> getModels()

Returns a Collection of the GeoMagneticField models that have been successfully loaded. The Collection is in insertion-order, thus it may not be sorted in order of the model epoch.

Returns:

a Collection of GeoMagneticField models

stillAcceptsData

public boolean stillAcceptsData()

Check if the loader still accepts new data.

This method is used to speed up data loading by interrupting crawling the data sets as soon as a loader has found the data it was waiting for. For loaders that can merge data from any number of sources (for example JPL ephemerides or Earth Orientation Parameters that are split among several files), this method should always return true to make sure no data is left over.

Specified by:

stillAcceptsData in interface DataLoader

Returns:

true while the loader still accepts new data

loadData

public void loadData(InputStream input,
                     String name)
              throws IOException,
                     ParseException

Load data from a stream.

Specified by:

loadData in interface DataLoader

Parameters:

input - data input stream

name - name of the file (or zip entry)

Throws:

IOException - if data can't be read

ParseException - if data can't be parsed
